"The
world is still here. I'm still here. Both changed. Each a little more aware
of the other."
I said that phrase just over a year ago,
and so much has happened since. I have remained very silent on Azodnem.
Partly, I think, because I've just been exceptionally busy with other more
lucrative endeavors, but truthfully
my silence has been self-imposed. Too much of me went up on
these web pages. Too much of me became exposed and too
accessible. Too much foolishness. Too much honesty (Is there such
a thing?). Too much regret. Yet, here I am once more... sitting at my
keyboard... typing away... taking off one more layer and exposing
another part. I feel as if I should write something about
"Today". It's everywhere. Every channel and every station is
heart-breaking. Watching Barbara Walters is pissing me
off royally. She's asking stupid and unfeeling questions...
even to the younger children. "How do you feel?", "What do
you miss most about daddy?". Heartless Wench!. How do you
think they feel? I had to turn off the televison.
I can't watch anymore of this. It's too much to see those families deal with so much pain and grief. The world has changed its face so quickly and so drastically... so terribly... joy and happiness have been stolen from so many good people this year. Watching and listening to their children dealing with the tragic and violent deaths of their fathers/mothers/parents is an awakening and heart-wrenching experience.
There is so much hate in their young
hearts...
Innocence died on 9-11 too. Where do you bury that?

This
is a somber dawning. I wanted to write about my hopes for the coming year...
but as always... "Azodnem" draws out the truth
in me. It pulls out the agony and joy together and leaves me to sort it out.
Let grief be remembered.
My thoughts and prayers
go out to the families and friends of all the victims
of last year's tragedy.
Let joy be forgiven.
I hope they can find the courage to rise up from their grief and move forward in their lives.
Let hope be reborn.
There are strangers
who pray for you.
Let hate fade away.
Your children are
in their thoughts.
Let love be a light.
You are not alone
in the darkness.
